About this property
Beautifully Restored Stone Farmhouse in Normandy Countryside
Les Madieres is a century-old restored stone farmhouse set in an acre and a half of lush land and gardens. A peaceful retreat in the French countryside, minutes from the bustling market town of Vire, with easy access to many attractions of Normandy.
There are 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 full bath/shower & second WC), including a spa-like bathroom downstairs. Downstairs: kitchen, dining room, & lounge with wood-beamed ceiling & granite fireplace. The lounge features a TV, dvd player, & books. An excellent supply of pots & pans, to practice your French cuisine awaits! We recently updated the kitchen cabinets and appliance and removed a wall to open up the dinning area (2023)
Situated on nearly 2 acres, Les Madieres invites you to enjoy some wine on the terrace, stroll the apple orchard, or relax on a tree-shaded lounge chair & lose yourself in a book. Children will love playing on the vast fenced garden, finding the secret path way, and saying bonjour to the neighboring cows while you enjoy alfresco dining on the outdoor terrace. The setting is tranquil and surrounded by farmland and filled with the sounds of birds and little else.
Ideal for families/groups of 4 (while it sleeps 6, the lounge seats 5 and the terrace has seating for 4, along with 2 loungers in the garden).

About the host
Hosted by Ken & Kimberley
Hi, we're Ken and Kimberley Foster. We are Canadians who love Europe and old world charm: the food, architecture, history, and of course, wine!
We have two boys who enjoy exploring the farm in France and tasting new foods and ancient ruins.
We bought the house to create a life a bit less ordinary from our lives in Vancouver - best decision we ever made.

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. A stone farmhouse on nearly 2 acres of tranquil farmland. The boys can safely roam the property. It has an orchard that locals harvest the apples and pears from to make wine.
It is a quick trip into a great market town, which has a direct train to Paris!
